Beware of Traffic Light Driving School: I'm Still Fuming About the Experience
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm still fuming about my experience with Traffic Light Driving School. I signed up thinking it'd be a great way to learn, but boy was I wrong. The instructors were unorganized, the curriculum was outdated, and the whole thing felt like a money grab. I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience - I've talked to several people who've had similar issues. Save your money and look elsewhere.

I'm writing this review months after passing my driving test, trying to keep things as objective as possible.
I want to share some concrete numbers to warn others about the 'Traffic Light' driving school.
Four - that's the minimum number of mistakes my group made on the first internal exam, which is a pretty low bar to clear if you ask me.
Thirty - that's how many hours I 'wasted' instead of the recommended 50 hours of driving practice. Yeah, some people might be okay with that, but I'm not one of them.
Five - that's how many people from my group took the exam on a car that wasn't their own, which we found out 15 minutes before the exam. The same number of people failed on the first try at the practice site.
Zero - that's how many people I'd recommend going to 'Traffic Light' driving school.
The theory lessons were a total snooze fest and made no sense to me. I barely remember the instructor's name, and I'm someone who pays attention to that stuff. I passed the theory part by accident, thanks to separate lessons with experienced drivers and constant memorization. After the course, I was still making around seven mistakes per test.
I have to give credit to my instructor - they were okay, but not exactly what I was expecting. But I did witness one of the other instructors being super aggressive with their students, which didn't exactly boost the students' confidence in their driving skills. It's sad that we still blame the students for their problems instead of the instructors who are clearly not doing their job.
The takeaway is pretty clear: price gouging is a dirty business, and you'll end up paying twice if you don't do your research. Don't repeat my mistakes and trust your friends' recommendations instead.
P.S. It's pretty funny that the review got moderated before it was even posted, but I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
